Your current vehicle's differential drive ratio is 3.64 and it is Limited Slip.

 

Should take about 6 hours for swap.

 

Options/prices for diff swap:

Dinan: $2500 + $1800 core  3.91 gear

Diffsonline: $2285 + $1500 core  3.91 or 4.10 gear
Turner Motorsport: $ 2000 + $1000 core 3.91 or 4.10 gear

I think shipping will be in the neighborhood of $150 ish.

 

3.91 is mild upgrade... the 4.10 is pretty extreme

3.91 should yield 7% torque increase

4.10 10% +

For what you're trying to do.. i would recommend the 4.10 gear.

Core price will be refundable with return of stock diff.

 

 

As quoted by Dinan:

The shorter 3.91 gearing takes advantage of torque multiplication for a substantial increase in torque delivered to the road. The improved acceleration comes with only a minor increase in engine speeds at cruise and no effective reduction in top speed potential. The 3.91 ratio was selected in order to enable the car to attain a speed of 60 mph without introducing a second to third gear shift which would otherwise slow down 0-60 mph times.

The Dinan 3.91 Limited Slip Differential delivers what is perhaps the greatest "bang for the buck" in terms of improved and more immediate acceleration from the M3

So if we go with 4.1 diff, not 600in 2nd? I would rahter consider a less gear in 1, the more int 2 and 3, and the same in 4, and better in 5,6. Can we customize it? You are the wiz! If its doable lets check it owt. Maybe your new work of art. The rest is show. What a great car! I wish it had a pusssy!
